Movie Night

Last Night Terry and Elizabeth invited us to go to dinner and then to an outdoor movie the school was showing for free. So she came over and picked us up to save on gas since Eric was already at school. That was soooo nice. Then we went to Souper Salad. They had some good stuff there. Caleb enjoyed their Pizza! He had like four slices! Then we went back to Terry and Elizabeths for a while. We talked and Caleb played with some of their games. Then around dusk we all got in our cars and drove down to where the movie was playing. It was a good thing that Terry thought to bring a frisbee because there were lots of kids and people there. He might have gotten out of hand if he hadn't had something to play with. Then we sat down for the movie to start. I actually got some crotcheting done before the movie started. I am making some flowers for a flower bouquet. Or I might make some sort of Headband out of them.
We watched Horton Hears a Who. Caleb liked it a lot., He actually stayed awake for the whole thing. Elizabeth fell asleep though, And I think Eric did too! I crotcheted for the first half and then I put it up for the last half. It was just too dark after the first half.
The movie ended and he ran off. We were not very happy with that! He had to go to time out. Then we came home and went to bed. I woke up this morning and I didn't feel bad but I didn't fell good either. I never feel good in the mornings! I am thoroughly tired of it!

I got a bill from the doctors office for some services. I am not going to pay them because they should have been covered by my insurance. I am not sure why they were not. I do not have the money to pay them. I am scared though that if I do not pay them I am going to have to find another doctor. It would be disastrous trying to find a doctor now. I guess I am just going to ignore them for now.

HOT WATER!!!

No, no one is in hot water! We finally have hot water in the house! We have been trying to find the leak since we moved in, now we found part of the pipe just not the leak and decided to bypass the whole pipe. To find the leak we would have had to take up the carpet taken out the heater and the water heater and dug up the whole hallway. That was NOT a good idea. The foundation would have been in Shambles leading to MORE problems later on! So now we have hot water no leaks in 24 hours, and we will get to put the floor back sometime. Soon I hope!

I took Caleb to a park with a water section in it. He loved it! He ran and ran, and then he dried off for a bit and played in the playground side for the rest of the time. It was windy and hot but I had an umbrella and didn't get too hot.

I found some old pink yarn from when we didn't know if Caleb was going to be a girl or a boy, I decided to make an afghan. I have begun my search for the blanket I want to make. I have a pattern, I know I have LOTS of pattern books. I just might not have them here!?! I will have to find them I guess.

Mom is getting ready for her house swap at the end of this month. She asked to leave some wedding stuff here so she doesn't have to pack it away and she doesn't have to take it with her either. COOL! Mike is getting married in a month and a few days!!!!

Short Visit

I had a doctors visit this morning. It was short and painless. He measured my uterus, and listened to the baby's heart beat. And then I asked about a lamaze class and he said to call the hospital they have somke good ones. So I will do that soon I think.
And the doctor said he is using the 19th as a due date. He also said that was good because he will be out of town from the 24th till the 4th of september. SO I hope I go into labor before he leaves!

I went to the store this morning. I was soo hungry I overloaded on veggies and fruits. I also did this because my doctor asked me to stay away from carbs, potatoes and bread mainly. I do eat stone ground wheat bread so I do not think that is too bad. but I love mashed potatoes how am I supposed to stay away from those????? I will try my hardest but it will not be easy!

My three hour glucose test came back okay, not the best but within normal parameters. That is why he asked me to stay away from sweets on top of the carbs. The sweets won't be too hard. I did go and get some string cheese for when I feel like a quick snack. I love those things!

The church has a whole bunch of summer activities planned for the kids. I plan on taking Caleb to a lot of them. This week is a park with a water area. I think he will enjoy it a lot!! Next week I am looking forward to it is this country critter place that has lots of animals and rides and stuff! cool!

I signed Caleb up for a soccer class in July. This is just a beginner class where he learns the techniques and stuff. I hope to get him into the mansfield soccer league next year. We missed the deadline for this year.

Ultrasound

Well I went to my ultrasound. First before I left the doctors office called and said my oe hour glucose test was high. So they scheduled me for the three hour glucose test Thursday. I cannot remember if it was the same way with Caleb or not. I cannot believe that I have gestational diabetes.
So anyway I go to the ultrasound. The guy was wayyyy nicer then the one with Caleb. Hardly any pushing at all! Maybe the equipement has gotten better is all. SO he looked and got the pictures the doctor needed. The heart, the head, the spine, the bladder, the kidneys, the leg, and some other ones. Then he looked for gender. He said he could not be sure because the legs were pretty tightly closed, but he was 85% sure it was a girl. And then he looked at the measurments and said that it looked like my due date was August 19th. But he said that this late in the game there was a three week error range because of all the differing growth patterns. So I am not sure when the baby is due! Do I still tell people august 26th or August 19th? Well I looked at it and those two dates are only one week apart so I might stick with the original 26th. But then I might ask the doctor what they think.

Can't think of a title.

I can never think of good titles. I have an ultrasound tomorrow.

I can not find my son sunday shoes! Okay I went to walmart and found some 13s and they did not fit him for church the next day so I took them back, and I went to payless. I had them measure him and they said he was a 12 1/2!! What on earth? So I tried a 12 1/2. I could not get them on his feet!?! What is going on. I looked for a 13 or 13 1/2. They didn't have any sunday shoes in that size but they had a 1. So I tried them on. They are wayyyy big on hm. Like 2 inches in front of his toe but they slipped on fine and not to tight. So then I went to Target to see if they had anything better and his size. They had nothing! They did have some crown slip ons. They were 13 1/2 and I tried them on and they were really tight to get on! so what?? I just don't get it. SO I went back to payless and got the 1's and he will just have to deal for a while. I may have to take him to a fancy shoe store to get a REAL shoe fitting or something. I just hate paying $25 or more for a pair of shoes.
